 A New York merchant makes this truthful remark: "The only high-priced thing at pres eat is a days work. The prices of all articles of food and of all manufactured goods have steadily fallen, till there is hardly any profit in raising or making them; but the price ot skilled labor has steadily gone up."

 Manual training in Philadelphia has had one peculiar and unforeseen result. The man. ual training schools are, it is said, filled with the sons of wealthy men. It is sup posed that such men realize the uncertainty of riches and want their sons equipped for an emergency. On the other hand, men who have worked hard and acquired only small fortunes prefer to give their sons classical edueations in the hope that they will have a better chance in life than their fathers had. In many cases the sons of wealthy men have gone from the training school to the shop to complete their education, and these fellows make such good apprentices that the classes at the school have been depleted by the de- mand for them.
 Dr. Swarts of Providence, Rhode Island has made series of experiments with vari- ous devices for Altering water at the mouth of the faucet. These experiments were care fully made under the conditions usually pre- sented in dwelling houses. His conclusions are wholly unfavorable to any form of filter within his knowledge. He reports that the best of them can only cleanse the water of possible microbes, or disease germs, for a few hours after their first application; that after this time it is impossible thoroughly to clean the filter, and it becomes place of de, posit and accumulation of the germs them selves, which are liable to propagate at the ordinary temperature of kitchens at very rapid rate. Thus the filter is worse than none.
